#7 Back when Al-Qaeda began flooding into Syria it became clear that no matter how much we may detest Iran and Syria, we had to focus our smiting on Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda is a criminal syndicate. You do not train members of a criminal syndicate because, they are murderous murdering criminals. You smite criminals. This is who the smartest guy in the room decided to back?

And what did the murderous murdering criminals do? They robbed banks in Mosul and murdered thousands.
